After coming together in January after their previous bands spluttered out, the boys in She’s Alive hunkered down in their Chicago practice space to craft the tracks that would become their debut EP, Left To Live For. “We all wanted something better, unhindered by past perceptions or self-imposed genre restrictions,” says frontman Alex Rogers. “One mended broken arm and two messy band break-ups later, She&#39;s Alive was born.” Plenty of morale-building and fan-galvanizing regional gigs followed; now the band will hit the road in late summer to see where their power-pop pirate ship will take them. “We never know how things will turn out,” says Rogers. “The sky is the limit and each day is a new adventure.” [JP]
